A British Muslim arrested at the Turkish-Syria border with her children and
grandchildren left Britain after her daughter killed herself believing that
family members wanted her dead.

Sobia Yasin, 21, killed herself after becoming convinced that her estranged
father’s family had targeted her in two hit-and-run road accidents, an
inquest in Rochdale heard yesterday.

Her mother Zareeda Bi, 50, whose brother-in-law is a Labour councillor in
Rochdale, Greater Manchester, was arrested last month with eight family
members, including four grandchildren, aged between one and 11, and her
nephew Waheed Ahmed, 21, who is Councillor Shakil Ahmed’s son.
